Built 1886

This Italianate home is 2-stories with an open staircase just inside the front door. Built by James Myers and James Gray on property owned by Charles Gibson, a grocer and land owner, the home remained in the Gibson name until 1913. The next owner, Abrose Bartley, a farmer and Civil War veteran passed the house on to Johnson and Rogers in 1929.

The house has been rented by several familiar people including artist Jack LaChance, creator of the mural in the Nashville House and photographer Frank Hohenberger. Artist and silhouette cutter Arthur B. Kepler, who frequently worked in front of the home, is quoted as saying, “God doesn’t give us our face, we make our own by the way we live.”
